I love sports shoes, especially top-siders. I have several pairs. Washed canvas is a good color for both casual and more casual outfits. Leather laces are great, but can come loose if not tightened properly. The material actually looks gray at times and I can see the canvas getting dirty quickly if left uncared for. All in all I love her. Sperry makes good shoes. If only they would bring back navy blue with a red stripe.
